Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...

Impact ofBifidobacterium bifidumMIMBb75 on mouse intestinal microorganisms [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2013
Bifidobacterium bifidum MIMBb75 is a recently identified probiotic. However, its distribution along the intestine and impact on resident microbiota is unknown. Herein, we established a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay targeting the B. bifidum-specific BopA region for the quantification of B. bifidum in feces and used this assay to

Expanding the Toolbox for Inducible Protein Expression With Automation‐enabled Generation of Glycomimetics

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Inducible protein expression is a cornerstone of many aspects of industrial and molecular biotechnological processes. 2′‐fucosyl isopropyl‐β‐D‐thiogalactopyranose (2′F‐IPTG) and 2′‐fucosyl isobutyl‐C‐galactoside (2′F‐IBCG) mimics were explored for protein expression studies.

Necrotising enterocolitis and mortality in preterm infants after introduction of probiotics: A quasi-experimental study [PDF]

, 2016
Evidence on the clinical effectiveness of probiotics in the prevention of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants is conflicting and cohort studies lacked adjustment for time trend and feeding type.

Current Advancements of Probiotic Foods and Their Role in Sustainable Food Security

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Probiotic foods have evolved from traditional fermented products to scientifically validated functional foods, defined by the FAO and WHO as live microorganism that confer a health benefit on the host when administered in adequate amounts, with effects being strain, does and end point specific.

Degenerate PCR primers for detecting putative priming glycosyltransferase genes in Bifidobacterium strains [PDF]

, 2017
A new PCR-based method to detect putative exopolysaccharide (EPS) producers from the genus Bifidobacterium was developed based on the detection of two priming glycosyltransferase genes: rfbP (undecaprenyl-phosphate sugar phospho-transferase) and cpsD ...

Engineered Probiotics: The Next‐Generation Therapeutics to Combat Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacterial Infections

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Engineered probiotics secretes fusion proteins which potentially neutralized the toxins secreted by other microbial communities. ABSTRACT On a global scale, the escalating burden of infectious diseases, predominantly attributed to bacterial pathogens, especially drug‐resistant strains, has progressed into a critical concern for clinical management and ...
